Ticketing - Ceremony

Each graduand attending will be able to bring six (6) guests.
An invitation will be sent via email to graduating students with a reply email to the Northeast Campus, so grads can advise if they require all six guest tickets, or if they wish to donate some back. In the reply email, if grads require more than the initial six (6) guest tickets they can request a waitlist for an additional two (2) guest tickets. These will be considered if venue capacity permits.
